WARNING
Radio waves from the key may aff ect
medical devices such as pacemakers:
Before using the key near people who
use medical devices, ask the medical
device manufacturer or your physician
if radio waves from the key will aff ect

y The push button start system functions
(function which can start the engine
by only carrying the key) can be
